| 45 | * BigOlEyebrows: Her eyebrows stand out even beneath her bangs. |
| 46 | * CombatHandFan: Carries one in her retrofit art almost as large as her. She actually complains about its size and not being used to it yet. |
| 47 | * IWillOnlySlowYouDown: In her defeat line she implores her allies to make a break for it. |
| 48 | * MeaningfulName: Her name translates as "Pine tree wind" she had pine needles around her in her art. The first kanji of her name also appears on her fan in her retrofit art. |
| 49 | * TeamMom: To the Commander and her sisters, as commented on by Hatakaze. |

| 61 | |
| 62 | ---- |
| 63 | * MeaningfulName: "Flag wind" and several fish shaped wind socks appear in her art. |
| 64 | * SelfDeprecation: Due to age, her career mainly consisting of escort missions, and being sunk by an air raid. |
| 65 | * UndignifiedDeath: She laments that she was sunk in an airstrike instead of going down fighting like Kamikaze. |
| 66 | --> Oh, also, though my class might make me seem experienced, not only did I mainly engage in escort missions and achieve nothing spectacular, my story ends with my wish to fight the bitter end, like Kamikaze did, going unfulfilled. For someone like me, that's rather deplorable. |
| 67 | * YouAreNumberSix: Subverted. She's quite happy that they chose to change her name from what it originally was, "Destroyer No.9." |

| 78 | |
| 79 | ---- |
| 80 | * BadassCape: A very wide cape with a bold red, black, and gold color scheme that serves to help make her look imposing despite her tiny figure. |
| 81 | * {{BFS}}: The own-body-to-sword-length ratio of her nodachi gives [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] a run for his money. The thing is easily longer than she is tall. Heck, the ''tassel tied to its hilt'' is almost half as tall as her! |
| 82 | * CatchPhrase: "End of report." |
| 83 | * ConsummateProfessional: Anything related to her duties, she will complete briskly and without spare words. She also expects this attitude of the Commander, and reprimands him if she feels he is not acting accordingly. |
| 84 | * LittleBitBeastly: Her ears appear to be moth wings, of all things. |
| 85 | * ShoutOut: In the English version, Oite will tell her foes, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight "Enough talk, have at you!"]] at the beginning of the fight if she is sortied as the point ship. |
| 86 | * SmashingWatermelons: In her "Summer Dedication" skin. Amusingly, she seems to have trouble hitting it even without a blindfold. |
| 87 | * SmashSisters: With Agano. Oite gains additional Torpedo power when she is present. Though Oite bemoans the fact that Agano can't resist messing with her ears. |
| 88 | * SpeechImpededLoveInterest: She can't help but st-stutter whenever anything related to hers and the Commander's relationship comes up. At some points, she can't even get through her CatchPhrase without stuttering! |
| 89 | * SupportPartyMember: Reduces incoming torpedo damage to your frontline and aerial damage to your backline just by staying afloat. |
| 90 | * TemporaryOnlineContent: Obtainable as a login reward in April 2021, though she is likely to return in the future. |
| 91 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Is completely oblivious to the concept of "hanging out" at first. As she begins to discover her feelings for the Commander, she starts becoming increasingly flustered in his presence. |

| 94 | |
| 95 | [[folder: The ''Mutsuki''-class]] |
| 96 | |
| 97 | * MovesetClone: They're all extremely similar to each other mechanically besides their LuckStat and Minazuki's 10-point lower Anti-Submarine Warfare stat. They're low-rarity destroyers with the lowest [[JokeCharacter non-Bulin]] Firepower in the entire game, below-average HP and Anti-Air, above-average Torpedo, and average Reload and Evasion for a destroyer. All of them (except post-retrofit Mutsuki) have only Quick Reload as their lone skill, identical limit break bonuses, and identical weapon efficiencies. Each of their non-Luck stats are within 8 points of each other at level 100 besides the 24-point HP gap between a Common and a Rare ship; within the same rarity, all these stats are the exact same. |
| 98 | * RareRandomDrop: Downplayed example with Mutsuki, Kisaragi, and Uzuki compared to other ships: They can ''only'' be obtained via Light ship construction, which is a massive pool of ships in the first place. Players may see them less often than the true common ships (which can be acquired from map drops) or even ComMon [=SSRs=] like Belfast and San Diego, who can be obtained in multiple construction categories. But you will get them eventually. |

| 112 | |
| 113 | ---- |
| 114 | * CheerfulChild: Mutsuki is the classic cheerful, sugar-crazed child, always talking about candy. |
| 115 | * EyeTake: Her chibi sprite animation has her opening her eyes wide as a indication of surprise. This expression pops up in several emojis featuring her, as well as on plushes of herself featured on other shipgirl skins. |
| 116 | * PlayingHouse: As early as Friendly affinity, Mutsuki will propose the commander and her play house. |
| 117 | * SweetTooth: Carries a bit of candy in each hand. |
| 118 | * WhatDoesThisButtonDo: She ends up pressing a "Do Not Press" button that Mikasa set up for her model collection, which causes them to self-destruct. Why would Mikasa set up a self-destruct button for her model collection is another question entirely. |

| 134 | * BornUnlucky: Her luck stat is a lowly 15, and she holds the dubious distinction of being the second Japanese ship sunk during the war (the first was Hayate during the same engagement) |

| 214 | * SupportPartyMember: Buffs all her cousins as well as herself. |

| 231 | |
| 232 | ---- |
| 233 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She can give this vibe off at times, because her understanding of things is mostly limited to fighting and she has trouble understanding some human interactions or concepts like her ears being cute. It's not to RobotGirl levels or whatnot, but it's there and she can be a bit of a space cadet in events where she features, going along with folks (the other starters in particular) out of habit. |
| 234 | * CollectionSidequest: In the CN and EN versions of the game, she's unlocked as a playable ship only after ''every'' other starter ship (Javelin, Laffey, and Z23) are max limit-broken, in sharp contrast to other collection sidequest ships which let you pick and choose a few partial limit breaks. Once you get all fifteen "rank" stars, a free copy of Ayanami is given as a reward, and future copies can be obtained from the build menu or obtained as drops from the same maps where the other starters can be found. |
| 235 | * CoolSword: all skins have one of some sort with various tricks (like mechanically lengthening, depending on the skin's chibi), with her musician skin having a combination sheath/instrument. No effect in gameplay though. She does use it in the anime, however. |
| 236 | * FanservicePack: Mixed with an aging up. She's not much curvier but her legs are longer/more emphasized and her top gets smaller. It makes a divide between certain costumes, some of which are based on her base art and some on her remodeled art (newer ones). And her first L2D at least seems to emphasize her bust (if not an actual increase) |
| 237 | * GlassCannon: Has the highest Torpedo stat among the starters but has lower speed than [[FragileSpeedster Javelin]] and lower HP than [[JackOfAllStats Laffey]] and [[MightyGlacier Z23]]. Post remodel, she had the highest Torpedo stat in the game up until the release of Shimakaze, and her new skill boosts evasion while giving a powerful linear barrage ending with Torpedoes, allowing her to rip through entire enemy fleets with ease, especially in [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] where she is considered one of TheDreaded. |
| 238 | * InSeriesNickname: She's called "Ayaya" in "Lunar New Yay-Yay-Year." |
| 239 | * RedBaron: Her primary skill is named after the epithet given to her namesake ship "Kishin or Demon (God) of Solomon", an epithet parallel to Yuudachi's for their performance in the Battle of Guadacanal. |
| 240 | * ReluctantWarrior: She states in the anime that fighting is all she knows, though she admits that she secretly is reluctant to fight and that she does so out of expectation from her Sakura Empire comrades. |
| 241 | * TheSlacker: There's a few signs she has this tendency like her Nico Nico skin, and her early appearances in ''Slow Ahead''. But on duty, she doesn't really show it. |
| 242 | * StarterMon: One of three available starters in the JP/KR server along with Javelin and Laffey, and with Z23 available as a reward for level breaking all three starters to maximum level. In CN/EN, she's the unlockable one. |
| 243 | * VerbalTic: ''Wakaranai des''.[[note]]"I don't understand" or "I don't get it", depending. She tends to say this about a ''lot'' of things.[[/note]] |
| 244 | ** Another is frequent use of "des/desu" which tends to be translated as "yes". |

| 276 | ** She also tells both Ikazuchi and Inazuma to be careful of unseen enemies, since both of them were sunk by US subs and Hibiki helped rescue survivors of the latter. |
| 277 | * RedBaron: "The Phoenix" due to surviving a torpedo strike from the submarine USS Hake that would have sunk most other ships. Also referenced in one of Inazuma's lines when sortied with Phoenix, where she briefly mistakes the Eagle Union ship for her sister. |

| 291 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: "Javelin's Monthly Manga" mini-event (crossover with ''Slow Ahead'' official manga) had her and Inazuma do a self-admitted shameless plug for Yostar heading to Anime Expo 2019 (on EN), or advertising ''Queens's Orders'' (on JP). They even wondered if extended maintenance would cause the players to miss the message. |
| 292 | ** Her normal dialogue does this, though unlike her sister, tends to insult your in-game performance and ask you to let her take over. |
| 293 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Similar to her sister, she comments that the first boss of the ''WebAnimation/KizunaAI'' collaboration event is a "tutorial boss" for the group, since Kizuna had just gotten her destroyer rigging. |
| 294 | * MetaGirl: She shares this role with Inazuma during the ''Kizuna AI'' collaboration event, where most of their dialogue is dancing around the absurdity of the situation. |

| 309 | --> '''Inazuma:''' Even their nameplates on the dialogue box are different! |
| 310 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Engages in a bit of this during the ''Kizuna AI'' collaboration event, where she talks about the TrappedInAnotherWorld trope and then directly mentions the fourth wall itself. |
| 311 | * MetaGirl: She shares this role with Ikazuchi during the ''Kizuna AI'' collaboration event, where most of their dialogue is dancing around the absurdity of the situation. |
| 312 | * NiceGirl: Is quite nice. Her upset line has her promise that she will stay with the commander, no matter what they become, her return to port line has her comment that she'll always be there for them, and she comforts the commander after discovering they have [[AbsurdPhobia mailophobia]]. |

| 439 | ---- |
| 440 | * InsistentTerminology: She doesn't call herself a Hatsuharu-class ship, but an Ariake-class. This is a nod to how some naval history experts consider Ariake its own subclass, and Yuugure to fall under the Ariake-subclass, due to all the design changes done before they were finished. |

| 482 | * BornLucky: Claims to have this attribute. She's not entirely wrong, since she boasts a high 84 LuckStat. |
| 483 | * FanservicePack: Her refit art makes her curvier and her top much smaller, revealing some sideboob among other things. |
| 484 | * TheRival: To Yukikaze and the feeling's mutual. Both are similar (haughty ships famed for luck). Her refit skill in a way weaponizes this as if in the same fleet as her, Shigure's Torpedo stat will get a boost and gives her a high chance of firing a special torpedo spread. |
| 485 | * RedBaron: Shigure of Sasebo, in part because Sasebo was her usual homeport. |

| 507 | * ArtificialLimbs: In her retrofit, she has a couple of mechanical claws added to her rigging. |
| 508 | * BigEater: Plenty of her lines have to deal with food. Her retrofit minigame even involves an eating contest. |
| 509 | * BigOlEyebrows: Possibly the girl with the thickest eyebrows in the whole game. |
| 510 | * BoisterousBruiser: She's certainly the loudest of the sisters and always ready for a fight -- and she can back up her words. |
| 511 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Upon retrofit, she gains asymmetrical stockings. |
| 512 | * GyaruGirl: Befitting her rebellious nature, she dresses as a kogal, with a customized SailorFuku, loose socks, fashionable manicure and even a tattoo. In retrofit, she loses the loose socks and gains asymmetrical stockings. |
| 513 | * JackOfAllStats: Her "Nightmare of Solomon" skill suggests this by boosting a number of stats upon proccing. Her retrofit truly makes one as the skill becomes a permanent status buff and gives enough other things to turn her into a hybrid destroyer. |
| 514 | * KillItWithFire: Upon retrofit, not only does she gain a skill to set enemies on fire, but said enemies take more damage from her while they have this status debuff. |
| 515 | * HellishPupils: Her slit pupils are very thin, almost catlike despite being a dog. |
| 516 | * MoreDakka: While she doesn't have Kitakaze's ability to ignore armor type, she does have the "Main Gun+1" attribute, which causes her barrage to trigger quite frequently. |
| 517 | * MsFanservice: Virtually all of her outfits are [[{{Stripperiffic}} incredibly revealing]] [[{{Underboobs}} in one way]] or another. In addition, she's fairly busty in spite of her seemingly young appearance. |
| 518 | * RareRandomDrop: Can only be gotten from the boss node of 6-4. |
| 519 | * RedBaron: She fancies herself as the "Mad Dog of Solomon" in her introductory line, claiming that it sounds tough. She's alternatively called "The Nightmare of Solomon", also the name of her self-buff skill. |
| 520 | * ShoutOut: Somewhat of a full circle. The "Nightmare of Solomon" moniker was originally popularized by a certain [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Mr. Gato]], however, said allusion is actually a reference to the original IJN Yuudachi and her actions during the Battle of Solomon Islands. |
| 521 | * SquareRaceRoundClass: She gains a "Main Gun+1" upon retrofit, making her a firepower focused DD, while retaining really strong Torpedo stats. In fact, she has the highest FP of any Sakura DD. |
| 522 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her general outfit is a microskirt that shows off her underwear and a crop top SailorFuku that shows off underboobs. Her Shogun of Snowballs outfit shows off some cleavage and underboobs, while featuring ZettaiRyouiki and another microskirt. And her Christmas skin is a rather skimpy number that brings to mind the "Dangerous Beast" look. |
| 523 | * ShowgirlSkirt: She gains one that goes over her regular SailorFuku microskirt. |
| 524 | * TattooAsCharacterType: She has a visible tattoo on the right side of her midriff, possibly an allusion to her rebellious nature. |
| 525 | * {{Underboobs}}: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated.]] Nearly all of her skins show this. Even in her oath skin she gets one. |

| 540 | * InnocentInnuendo: She refers to being touched by the Commander as getting "touchy-feely" -- it gets worse once you reach "Love" affinity, since she asks the Commander to continue "practicing" the whole "touchy-feely" thing.

| 573 | * BodyguardingABadass: She's personal bodyguard to Nagato, who is the leader of Sakura Empire. Even still Nagato is a battleship who can more than handle herself. |

| 575 | * TheComicallySerious: A lot of humor involving her in the ''Looking Glass of Fact and Fiction'' event is derived from the serious way she handles everything from the Hololiver's quirky personalities to the absurd situations they have to deal with. |
| 576 | * CoolSword: She sports two black and red swords. |
| 577 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Normally a character who doesn't show up in either event stories or supplementary materials, the ''Looking Glass of Fact and Fiction'' event has her be one of the main characters on the Azur Lane side helping the Hololivers resolve the incident. Being done by Hololiver Fubuki's artist may have a role in it. Their similarities are lampshaded several times. |
| 578 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She starts off fairly cold and pessimistic. Her Monochromatic Interlude skin shows that she eventually warms up to become a bit more optimistic and open to interacting with others. |
| 579 | ** Defrosts even further in her ''Unsullied White Fox'' wedding skin. By that point, she's openly happy to spend time with others, supportive of the commander's more optimistic ideals, and claims her goal is to become a protector of others rather than just a weapon of destruction. It's quite the far cry from her original more dour self. |
| 580 | * HiddenDepths: She likes fishing since it lets her relax without having to think about anything. |
| 581 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: She's perfectly willing to attack people she outright admits are her allies, such as Mikasa's group, in order to fulfill her promise to Nagato to protect her while she's sealed within the Sacred Sakura. |
| 582 | * PraetorianGuard: She serves a minor role in the anime adaptation as Nagato's and Mutsu's personal guard. |
| 583 | * ShoutOut: She says [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} "War... war never changes"]] whenever she starts a mission. In the anime, it's [[BorrowedCatchphrase said a lot by Enterprise]]. |
| 584 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Primarily ice to everyone with a bit of sugar sprinkled here and there. It's hinted that while she does care about the people around her more than she likes to let on, she has issues fitting in with the rest of the cast since she doesn't know how to let her guard down in the name of connecting with others. |

| 625 | * FanservicePack: While even in her base skin she is shown to be quite curvy for a destroyer, her multiple skins take it to an entire other level, giving her an absolutely enormous rack for a destroyer in all three of them. |
| 626 | * NiceGirl: This is her main character trait: She's just a nice and gentle girl. Her character quest is titled "Gentle and Sweet Ooshio" for a reason. And her reactions to special touches range from her warning you that other girls wouldn't like it to considering it her present to you. |
| 627 | * SexySantaDress: A mini event in december 2018 had one for her as its final prize and it certainly emphasizes her curves. |
| 628 | * ThroughHisStomach: An early point in her character quest is her feeding the commander some cookies. |

| 723 | * NotSoStoic: Her secretary quest involves the Commander wondering whether she actually can show emotion; at the very end, [[spoiler:they catch her smiling for the first time after promising her that they'll help her out in the future (so that she doesn't overwork herself from juggling both secretary and shopkeeper duties)]]. |

| 771 | |
| 772 | ---- |
| 773 | * AdaptedOut: Interestingly, the game actually leaves Yukikaze's post-war history completely unmentioned, and that history is what further cemented her status as an unsinkable lucky ship. She was transferred to another navy as war reparations, and actually served around the time of the Korean War, intercepting cargo vessels for her new home country and making multiple defensive patrols; she also memorably visited Manila, where she drew a huge crowd of visitors. She was only finally wrecked by a typhoon that hit her home harbor in 1969, in the middle of an effort to have her repatriated to Japan to become a museum ship and then was finally scrapped in 1970/1971, making her the last of the surviving IJN navy ships to be scrapped. The problem? The new navy in question was the Chinese navy - the ''Republic of China'' Navy.[[note]]Thus far, the only Republic of China Navy ships in the game are those that predate the existence of the People's Republic. The only ship so far whose post-[=WW2=] ROCN service is even hinted at is [[Characters/AzurLaneRoyalNavy HMS Aurora]], who notes that one of her names is Chongqing. That's probably because she spent only 9 months as a ROCN ship, and then joined the People's Liberation Army Navy after her crew's defection to the Communist side of the Chinese Civil War.[[/note]] As a result, Yongshi/Manjuu have apparently felt it prudent to leave her postwar history completely unmentioned. |
| 774 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Near the end of her character quest, the commander has one of two options on how to physically compliment her for opening herself up to them: a head-pat or a hair-ruffling. Yukikaze responds positively to either. |
| 775 | * BornLucky: There's a reason why she's called ''The Unsinkable Ship'' or ''The Miracle Ship'', and plenty of her lines deal with luck. Her second skill is "The Unsinkable Lucky Ship", and half of the skill description is just her bragging about her luck. To cap off her luckiness, her LuckStat is a massive 98, one of the highest in the entire game. |
| 776 | * HellishPupils: An odd case because her pupils aren't black but rather white in the opposite contrast of her darker iris. |
| 777 | * InSeriesNickname: Shigure gives Yukikaze the insulting nickname "Yuckykaze" during Yukikaze's personal quest. |
| 778 | * LightningBruiser: Thanks to the fact that she possesses nearly 190 evasion and has a skill that has, maxed out, a 1-in-4 chance of effectively negating any damage she takes (and is checked every time she takes a hit), along with whatever arcane voodoo her 98 luck provides, she is far and away ''the'' hardest DD to kill in the entire game. She's also got really good speed, a top-ten-category Torpedo stat, and her barrage attack is a torpedo barrage, so it makes use of her strongest stat. Put it all together, she hits like a truck and can, especially with some help from the RandomNumberGod, be seemingly impossible to kill. |
| 779 | * LittleBitBeastly: Of the {{Catgirl}} variety, which helps cement her as being TheRival of Shigure who is a dog. |
| 780 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: In a couple of ways. |
| 781 | ** First off, she's a destroyer with basically a ''tank'' skillset. This works a lot better than you might expect (because the skills are just that good), but to get the most out of her, she needs to be at the head of a formation, ideally running with other destroyers to make the most of her speed, and a tank auxillary gear or two goes a long way too (although her torpedo stat makes Type 90 torpedoes very tempting too). |
| 782 | ** Secondly, her All-Out barrage is a ''torpedo spread'', not a bullet hell pattern. While this is ultimately beneficial because it makes use of her obscene torpedo stat, the torps fire in a fairly tight pattern directly ahead of her when the skill activates and have no tracking, and do have usual torpedo movement speed. This means you need to lead with them a bit to get the most out of the skill. |
| 783 | * MegatonPunch: If you've placed her in a secretary role and have Live 2D activated for her default skin, this is how she visually reacts to being groped, punching hard enough to leave an implant of her fist in the screen while the rest of the animation plays out. |
| 784 | * NoSell: Her "The Unsinkable Lucky Ship" skill reduces incoming damage down to 1. |
| 785 | * RedBaron: ''Yukikaze of Kure'' for being her usual homeport and ''The Unsinkable Ship'' or ''The Miracle Ship'' for participating through most of Japan's most ferocious battles and surviving till the end of the war. |
| 786 | * TheRival: To Shigure, and mutual at that. |
| 787 | * TwinTails: More prominent in her standard outfit. |
| 788 | * {{Tsundere}}: She's a pretty soft variant of tsundere and ''quickly'' shifts between the two moods in even a single conversation option. Generally, she's haughty but friendly. |
| 789 | -->'''Yukikaze''' (Friendly line): You'd like to go to an amusement park with Yukikaze the Great? Hmph! There's no way that I'd do something so childish... Ahh! W-wait, let's talk this over! I'm sure there's some fun to be had at an amusement park! |
| 790 | * VerbalTic: '''NANO DA!'''[[note]]Strictly, this means something like "to be here", but Yukikaze uses it in completely nonsensical ways.[[/note]] |
| 791 | ** Also, '''WA-HA-HA!''' |
| 792 | ** Also also, ''Ma...'' '''MATSU-NO-DA!'''[[note]]"Now wait a second!"[[/note]] |
| 793 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Her default skin has [=Live2D=], just like the Starter ships and Akashi, because she was planned to be the Sakura Empire's StarterMon instead of Ayanami. By the time they swapped places, her Live 2D animations were already implemented into the game and were left in anyway. |

| 865 | * BornUnlucky: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzags]] with BornLucky. She comments she's not as lucky as Yukikaze or Shigure despite also surviving some serious engagements. She was also responsible for scuttling Akagi and Chikuma, and in the latter's case, after rescuing Chikuma's crew, she was sunk by USS Owen, meaning she lost many more men than usual when she sunk. Her LuckStat boasts an average value of 72 as a result. |
| 866 | * FriendlyFire: One of her lines mentions that she likes she doesn't have to hurt any of her allies in this new life, this is because she was forced to scuttle both Akagi and Chikuma in real life. |
| 867 | * HellishPupils: Par on course for a Saru girl. |
| 868 | * HiddenDepths: Behind her tendency to fall asleep lies a very broken girl. Just take a listen to her self introduction: |

| 870 | * RandomEffectSpell: Downplayed. Her "Gambler's Ship" skill "only" has three effects to draw from, but they're wildly diverse nonetheless: every 20 seconds, she either gains evasion, gains a damage buff, or takes more damage. Overall, she's 60/40 lucky/unlucky to get one of the two positive effects versus the negative one. |

| 930 | * AdaptedOut: Curiously, both of the ships from Ink-stained Steel Sakura, Harutsuki and Yoizuki, actually had much longer service histories with other navies[[note]]Haru was taken by the Soviets, served in her usual role for a bit, was a training ship, and then eventually a target ship, and finally scarpped in 19''69''; Yoi ended up with the Republic of China (AKA Taiwan) and a was training and naval reserve ship until 1963[[/note]] but in ''AL'' this goes completely unmentioned by either one of them and doesn't influence their characterization whatsoever. It's suspected that it's omitted because those were not happy times. |
| 931 | * AnimalMotifs: Fennec foxes. Except for Suzutsuki who is partially modeled after an owl. |
| 932 | * AntiAir: They have high AA for destroyers, and the latter two get bonuses when shooting down planes. |
| 933 | * MoreDakka: The Akizuki-class (and Super Akizuki Kitakaze) are the only Destroyers to get a Main Battery Guns+1 upgrade as part of 2nd level break instead of extra torpedoes. This is a reference to the fact that they only had 1 torpedo bank in real life. This is still considered to work to their detriment, though, because despite the additional battery shots, their actual firepower stat is extremely low, as per Sakura Empire destroyer standard. |

| 947 | * RareRandomDrop: She only drops in Stage 9-4, Boss node only. |
| 948 | * StanceSystem: Has the "Anti-Air Mode" skill, enabling her to boost her rather high anti-air at the expense of her firepower. |

| 961 | ---- |
| 962 | * {{Miko}}: She's a very dedicated assistant miko to Nagato, who is pretty much the Head Priestess of the Sakura Empire. |
| 963 | * ProneToTears: She comes as being this, (she seems ready to burst into tears half the time), but this is mostly because she's a bit overwhelmed to be reunited with her sisters at your Azur Lane base. (Historically, the ''Fuyutsuki'' subclass ships all survived the war, but were split up by the Allied powers post-war and never saw each other again before being scrapped.) |

| 975 | ---- |
| 976 | * CaringGardener: She loves not only viewing flowers but also tending to them. |
| 977 | * CherryBlossomGirl: Her hair, tail, and clothes are pink; sakura petals can be seen not only on her clothes and umbrella but also below her left ear as part of her hairband; she has lines that can only be viewed after Oathing her; and she has the aura of a YamatoNadeshiko. She definitely counts as this. |
| 978 | * FloralThemeNaming: Her Juustagram handle ("[=FlowerMoon=]") directly translates the two parts of her name ('hana' and 'zuki' mean 'flower' and 'moon', respectively). |
| 979 | * RoseHairedSweetie: She's an undeniably pleasant pink-haired person. |
| 980 | * YamatoNadeshiko: She certainly carries the aura of one. A few of her lines also involve her preparing tea for the Commander. |

| 1010 | * {{BFS}}: She carries a nodachi whose length is greater than her height. |
| 1011 | * FashionableAsymmetry: She wears stockings with different lengths. |
| 1012 | * FlippingTheTable: She does this to a balance beam/hurdle in her track-and-field-themed sports skin. |
| 1013 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: She seems unaware of how much is visible in her skins. |
| 1014 | * MsFanservice: |
| 1015 | ** Her regular skin features such an ImpossiblyLowNeckline that it makes one wonder how she's not exposing herself just by [[WardrobeMalfunction walking]], especially when the coloring makes it look like a portion of her areola is already exposed as is. |
| 1016 | ** Her sports skin, introduced with the rerun and English versions of the Ink-Stained Steel Sakura event, is infamous for being one of the most outright fanservice-y official works in the game. It's enough to say that some major discussion hubs for the game require the splash art for it to be behind a "Not Safe For Work" tag. |
| 1017 | * NiceGirl: One of her defining characteristics: she's helpful just because it's what she feels comes naturally. The catch is, her quiet helpfulness actually ends up putting distance between herself and others, because a lot of folks around her can't believe someone is ''that'' dutiful without an ulterior motive. She's come to accept the distance, though (which is why a relationship with the Commander surprises her). |
| 1018 | * ObliviousToLove: Not unlike Renown, she's rather slow on the uptake about what the Commander's invitation to a date and what her own quiet feelings about it really mean until you oath her. She at least realizes she was being a bit thick once you finally give her the ring, though. |
| 1019 | * SeriousBusiness: She generally treats most of her work like this in a quiet fashion, which contributes to her being a bit distant from other people. If her sports skin's idle animation is anything to go by, track and field is [[FlippingTheTable especially]] [[PlayedForLaughs serious business]]. |
| 1020 | * SexySoakedShirt: In her sport skin her shirt is wet. |

| 1033 | |
| 1034 | ---- |
| 1035 | * AnimalMotifs: Rabbits, just like her ''VideoGame/KanColle'' self, to emphasize her speed. |
| 1036 | * AnimationBump: |
| 1037 | ** Just like Shinano and New Jersey before her, if you manage to pull her while building during the event, you're treated to a short anime-style sequence of her skating across the water and pointing her 'gun' (the part of her rigging that she's holding in her hand) at the screen. She has a dynamic (simple [=Live2D=], standard on all rainbow rarity ships) default skin and is the first buildable UR to get a [=Live2D=] skin. |
| 1038 | ** As of the June 30, 2022 update, she is officially the first (and ''only'') ship to have ''only'' [=Live2D=] skins, putting her total at three if you count her default skin. |
| 1039 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: At the start of Upon the Shimmering Blue, she gets lost due to getting distracted by a beautiful bird that flew past her. |
| 1040 | * BreakoutCharacter: When she made her debut in ''Crosswave'' in August of 2019, she was an instant hit with fans of the series, who had been requesting for her to be added to the main game ever since. Manjuu was clearly listening, and when she ''finally'' appeared in the main game two years and one month later, not only was she ''the'' focus of the event (which was chock-full of {{Mythology Gag}}s that reference ''Crosswave''), but she was also released as an ''Ultra-Rare'', with a [=Live2D=] skin at her debut, a first for her rarity. |
| 1041 | * CanonImmigrant: She first appeared as the main protagonist of ''Crosswave'' in 2019 almost a full two years before her debut in the mobile game during the Upon the Shimmering Blue event. |
| 1042 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: [[InvokedTrope Invokes]] this with [[spoiler:Hakuryuu]] during the climax of Upon the Shimmering Blue. As the latter is the guardian of the Dragon Palace, defeating her means Shimakaze may claim the Palace's treasure. Shimakaze naturally decides that [[spoiler:Hakuryuu herself is the Palace's treasure, and says that if she wins, Hakuryuu's coming with them back to the Sakura Empire, where Hakuryuu will be her friend. Hakuryuu agrees, thinking [[TemptingFate there was no way Shimakaze was ever going to win against her]].]] |
| 1043 | * FantasticArousal: As Laffey learned in ''Crosswave'', headpatting her while she's your secretary results in her squirming, whimpering, and begging you not to touch her ears, saying it "makes her feel weak". Doing it again after Oathing her has her outright ''moan''. |
| 1044 | -->'''Shimakaze''' (Special touch, post-Oath): "At least you didn't touch my ears. The outcome wouldn't have been worksafe... Ugh..." |
| 1045 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In ''Crosswave'', Ayanami speaks of Shimakaze's potential. Come her mobile debut, she's surpassed Ayanami as a unit. |
| 1046 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: One of her support skills actually allows her to fire a torpedo barrage when a ''different'' fleet engages in battle, so long as Shimakaze herself is somewhere else on the field. In other words, she's so fast that she can run all the way across the battlefield to take potshots at enemies who are otherwise distracted, something she does several times both in ''Crosswave'' and in Upon the Shimmering Blue. |
| 1047 | * GlassCannon: She's a little on the squishy side by the standards of the current Ultra Rare ships, which is to be expected of a Destroyer. However, she ''hits like a train'' when fully limit broken; with the right setup, she can outnuke Retrofitted Ayanami. |
| 1048 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: She's the lead protagonist of ''Crosswave'' alongside Suruga. |
| 1049 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: She wields a katana in her default skin and openly wonders what it would be like to wield Chikuma's or Hakuryuu's. It even ties into one of her skills, which can cause DamageOverTime. |
| 1050 | * LeotardOfPower: Her default skin features one of these. |
| 1051 | * MacrossMissileMassacre: More "Macross Torpedo Massacre", but functionally the same: Shimakaze has an ''S-rank'' Torpedo stat, and two of her skills are all about buffing and abusing the Torpedo stats of the entire frontline, especially Destroyers. Equip her with the 610mm Quintuple Torpedo Mount you can buy from Upon the Shimmering Blue's event shop, and she becomes a torpedo-spewing monster, [[MythologyGag just like in]] ''[[MythologyGag Crosswave]]''. She can even launch Torpedo strikes in fleets she isn't even a part of! |
| 1052 | * MythologyGag: Her fainting upon learning the person she was being incredibly casual toward while looking for Shinano [[RightInFrontOfMe was, in fact, Shinano herself]] is an almost word-for-word reference to Shimakaze's first meeting with Nagato in ''Crosswave''. |
| 1053 | * NewMeat: In ''Crosswave'', she has the attitude of being a newbie ship and is very deferential to more established Sakura ships. |
| 1054 | * SayingTooMuch: The end of her secretary quest shows her [[LoveConfession blurting out her love for the Commander]], and she catches herself before she can say when that love began. |
| 1055 | * SixthRanger: She's treated like this to the starters in both promotional material and in-game, owing to her main protagonist role in ''Crosswave'' (where she's the starter destroyer). Her line if she's with any of the other starters has her be a bit confused by it. |
| 1056 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Her eyes are a bright amber color, and she's far and away one of the strongest Destroyers in the game as of this writing. |
| 1057 | * SympathyForTheDevil: She genuinely wanted to be friends with Purifier in ''Crosswave'', whom she didn’t even know was a Siren until their second meeting. |

| 1072 | |
| 1073 | ---- |
| 1074 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: Her "Kitakaze Style - Unanimous Slash" allows her to ignore her own ammo type and deal 100% (up to 115%) damage to all armor types, similar to Black Heart. It also boosts her gun efficiency if equipped with Japanese DD guns. This makes the gold rarity 100cm guns quite deadly in her hands. |
| 1075 | * MoreDakka: Gets the "Main gun +1" limit break perk allowing her to fire even more rounds, and while her firepower still isn't much more than usual ''Akizuki''-class, her ability to ignore enemy armor type and efficiency bonus with Sakura DD guns allow her to alleviate that issue and function as good of a gunboat as the other dedicated gunboat DD like Laffey and Z23. |
| 1076 | * SquareRaceRoundClass: A japanese destroyer that focuses on guns (fire power stat is better than just about every other japanese destroyers, especially her Akizuki class cousins which she shares the "main gun +1" perk with. She has better gun efficency). That being said, her ability to use Torpedoes is still pretty strong. |
